A mobile device that's meant to be used ONLY in one VERY specific way that is in no way mobile friendly at all. Masterbation. Fun but pretty useless.

All good critiques of freelancing today . "Freelancing" in 2043 will be very different. Of course no one knows the future (maybe lifetime union jobs will be back in 30 years?) but I just feel this is the way the wind is blowing. But then a

Yep, partially due to technology but I also think in 30 years almost everyone will be a freelancer and "jobs" as we know them today will be very very rare.

Not sure what you mean by "wealth per person", but pretty much everything is significantly better than it was in 1970. The average North American is significantly wealthier today than they were in 1970. Compare an average car from 1970 an

Since diamonds are actually not valuable, one would require the help of the diamond-cartel to extract any value at all. Don't think diamonds are worthless? Try selling one.

Ah yes, but then those are fat calories, not "fibre" calories.

There are only 4 macronutrients (foods metabolism can run on): carbs, fat, protein, & ethanol. So if you believe protein & fat are nutrients, then you must believe carbs are as well.

It's just a term one of the nutrition experts I follow, Alan Aragon has used to describe people who blindly follow the paleo diet. Not that paleo is all bad, but there a lot of people who get it very wrong.

"calories without nutrients" does not makes sense at all. A spoonful of sugar contains 100% nutrients. That link is total nonsense. For example it claims pizza is empty calories, but bread, cheese, tomatoes, meat & veggies are not? It's

"Sugar/carbs are not something readily available in human history..." This doesn't matter at all. "...in the vast quantities we eat them today." THIS is what matters. Net calories are king, regardless of diet macro composition.

Yep. But even though almonds are ~20% protein, they are also ~50% fat. It's not the best protein source by a long shot. While the TEF of protein does reduce it's net caloric contribution by about 25%, that doesn't matter if you eat in exces

When you eat low-carb, your body depletes your glycogen stores (if you go as far as keto, you're emptying the glycogen and switching your metabolism to run on ketones). Every gram of glycogen is stored with 3-4g water. When one goes low-car

Agreed! I enjoyed eating paleo/low-carb for a while, but now I eat IIFYM and get the same or better results, because no food is off limits If It Fits My Macros. :) In the end ALL diets work, but the best diet is the one you can stick with.

Carbs are NOT "empty calories", there is no such thing.

by c1u 14y ago
Almonds are mostly fat, and not very satiating either. I've done the paleo/lowcarb fad diets too. They just trick you into eating fewer calories by forbidding most of the food you ate before the diet. Not to mention some versions of these
